Machine, trailer, starter attachments.
Turn up and get to work.
E17 for tight access.
E20z for more dig and reach.
10% deposit. T&Cs apply.
Approved ABN holders.
Machine, trailer, service, parts.
Bendigo-based. 45 years in.
No hidden extras, no "I forgot to buy that" moments.
Pick your size of digger — the trailer and attachments are the same either way.
2 tonne class. 13.9 hp Kubota engine. 2.60 m dig depth and stronger bucket breakout for heavier work. Same zero-tail-swing design and same retractable undercarriage (980–1,360 mm) as the E17 — just more weight, more dig, and more grunt.
Pick the E20z when you need deeper trenches, harder digging, or more breakout force on tough ground.
1.7 tonne class. 13.9 hp Kubota engine. 2.25 m dig depth. Hydraulically retractable undercarriage closes down to 980 mm — narrow enough for most side gates — then expands to 1,360 mm for stability on the job. Same zero-tail-swing design and same retractable width as the E20z, in a lighter package that's easier to tow.
Pick the E17 when towing weight is a factor — or when most of your work is residential and the extra dig depth of the E20z isn't needed.
Trailers Only Australian-made. 2.22 x 1.35 m deck. 3,000 kg GVM (up to 2,520 kg payload). Roller Rocker suspension, electric brakes, aluminium load ramps, 8” jockey wheel, LED lights. 12-month warranty.
Includes a 900 mm Mud Bucket, two Trenching Buckets, and a Half Hitch — for maximum versatility on site.
Same engine. Same retractable undercarriage. Same zero-tail-swing design.
The real difference is weight and dig power — pick the size that matches the work and the ute.
| Spec | Bobcat E17 | Bobcat E20z | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating weight | 1,749 kg | 1,953 kg | Both fit a standard braked tandem trailer. The E17 is ~200 kg lighter — easier on smaller utes. |
| Engine | 13.9 hp Kubota | 13.9 hp Kubota | Same engine in both. Quiet, fuel-sipping, parts available everywhere. |
| Tail swing | Zero | Zero | Counterweight stays inside the tracks. Work flush against walls and fences. |
| Track width | 980 – 1,360 mm | 980 – 1,360 mm | Same retractable undercarriage. Both squeeze through 980 mm gates, both extend to 1,360 mm for stability. |
| Front dozer blade | Standard | Standard | Backfill, grade, and stabilise without a second machine. |
| Max dig depth | 2.25 m | 2.60 m | The E20z digs ~35 cm deeper. The difference between a service trench and a footing. |
| Bucket breakout force | 16,177 Nm | 20,835 Nm | The E20z bites harder — better in compact clay, rocky ground, and tough fill. |
| Best for | Lighter rigs, residential | Deeper digs, harder ground | E17 if towing weight matters or work is light residential. E20z if the dig depth or bite force does. |
| Warranty | Full factory | Full factory | Backed by Bobcat. Serviced in Bendigo. |

10% deposit. 60 months. Approved ABN holders, credit approval applies. Usually sorted inside the week. T&Cs apply.
Package delivered to your yard, induction on machine and trailer, and you're off. Predictable weekly payments over 60 months.
You're not just buying a machine and a trailer.
You're buying a relationship with a dealer who'll keep the whole rig running.
Australia's longest-serving Bobcat dealer. If something goes wrong, you've got the phone number of the people who sold it to you.
Not just the sale. Planned servicing, parts on the shelf, factory-trained mechanics who know your machine by model number.
Every new Bobcat in this package comes with full factory warranty. Backed by local parts and factory-trained techs in Bendigo.
A new Bobcat mini excavator (E17 or E20z — your choice), an Australian-made tandem trailer rated for the machine, and a starter attachment pack (a 900 mm mud bucket, two trenching buckets, and a half hitch). Delivered to your yard, pre-delivery inspected, with a short induction on both the digger and the trailer. One weekly number covers the lot.
Both machines have the same retractable undercarriage (980–1,360 mm), the same zero-tail-swing design, and the same 13.9 hp Kubota engine. So the choice isn't about whether you can fit through the gate — both can.
Pick the E17 when towing weight matters (1,749 kg vs 1,953 kg makes a real difference on a smaller ute), or when most of your work is light residential and the extra dig depth of the E20z isn't needed.
Pick the E20z when you need the extra ~35 cm of dig depth (footings, drainage, deeper service trenches) or the stronger bucket breakout (compact clay, rocky ground, tougher fill).

Both prices are indicative weekly repayments on a chattel-mortgage finance: 10% deposit over 60 months. Approved ABN holders, subject to credit approval. T&Cs apply — call us on 1300 77 88 26 and we'll run your exact numbers for either machine.
On a conventional mini excavator, when you swing the machine left or right, the counterweight at the back sticks out past the tracks. If you're close to a fence, wall or parked car, it clouts them. Both the E17 and E20z are built so the counterweight stays inside the track width at full rotation — so you can dig right up against a boundary fence, a house slab, or a retaining wall without having to stop, shuffle the machine, and start again. That's what the ‘z’ in the model name stands for.
